Hi, i just have a quick question
if you have 2 or more people that know or heard something suspicious, does that mean if both those people say they dont suspect X, mean that X is not the killer?
in other words can there be 2 seperate witness evidences pointing to 2 separate suspects both of which have real alibis?

To answer your question specifically:

If the Barber tells you John Doe thinks he knows something and the Fortune Teller tells you Jane Smith thinks she knows something and you ask both of them if they know anything about Sam Anderson and they both say they don't know anything about him, you CANNOT eliminate Sam Anderson. Just because they THINK they know something doesn't mean they know something incriminating about a suspect with a fake alibi. They can also know something incriminating about someone with a REAL alibi.

I had cases where 2 different real alibi suspects each had 1 WE against them.

I wouldn't be surprised if you could pair all real alibi suspect with 1 WE. In AI cases you don't have that many questions to find out.

Yea Sindy youre right
actually i believe that if 3 people who think they know who the murderer is, all say that they have no reason to suspect jane doe implies jane doe is not the murderer
but 2 people saying no isnt enough because you could have 2 different suspects with 2 real alibis have a WE against each one of them
